SubjectCO2 significance threshold for heavy oil operations
Comment
Please do not adopt your planned significance threshold of 7,000
metric tons of CO2 for California heavy oil projects.  Please
consider that huge amounts of undeveloped heavy oil reserves
remain in California but these deposits must be heated with
injection of steam from steam boilers to unlock the oil.  The
volume of CO2 created from California heavy oil operations was
much, much higher 20 years ago.  I hope you can make an exception
for California heavy oil operations that uses a CO2 significance
threshold based on CO2 levels from 20 years ago.  If you held
other industries to levels from 20 years ago, we can make much
progress on reduction of CO2 emissions.  Thank you!
